Quick Noob Question guys. I just picked up my 02' TL Type-S this past week. I have also just registered on the Acura owners link and was looking into the recalls and saw the two posted trannie issues. The first one listed is listed like this:

Description 00-04 CL & TL A/T RECALL
Date 6/29/2004
Type Safety Recall Campaign
Status Fixed

Does this mean that the recall has already been performed??? Also the second recall reads like this:

Description 2000-03 TRANS WARRANTY EXT
Date 9/27/2002
Type Warranty Extension Campaign
Status Open

I'm also assuming "Open" means that the previous owner never brought it in to have the warranty extended. Do I now have to go to Acura to have the Warranty extended???

 

There has never been a transmission recall for the entire transmission.

The first recall item is likely the "oil jet kit" recall.

And you don't need to bring the car in to get the warranty extended. It's automatic.

"Open" probably just means that the extended warranty poilicy is still in effect. But don't worry about that. You have the extended warranty as long as your car is less than 7 years old or it has less than 100,000 miles. (It's a whatever occurs first deal).

Note also that cars with a salvage title are not covered.

So the "Fixed" status of the first recall (oil jet kit) means that it has already been completed right??

 

Yes, "fixed" means that the recall item has been completed.

Thanks a lot Bob, I really appreciate it!!!

 

Open just means that the warranty is still in effect.
